Well, sort of. We'll see if it moves Schultz or any of the Dems in big union districts. But in the end they will still support the Democrat in recall. Because the unions don't really give a rat's ass about the workers they represent. There is no shortage of evidence of that.

Labor union members (non-government employees) are holding a rally in Madison at noon today in support of the minimg bill.

The private sector unions WANT the mine." Of course they do. But not more than they want Democrats elected. They have to support the mine. But they will not do what's necessary to make it happen. They will go along to get along, with promises that they'll be paid off later.

Can we just convert those evil Milwaukee corporations manufacturing mining equipment into shelters for the homeless or maybe aqua-farm co-ops? Maybe the state can confiscate all undeveloped and create one big state park. After all, teachers need more nice places to visit on their summers off.

Since iron mines have ruined both Michigan and Minnesota, who in their right mind would allow a travesty like this in Wisconsin?

And since it no longer makes sense for us to be called "badgers", let's come up with a new, more enlightened, state mascot. How about the Wisconsin public employee? I can hear the shouts of "Go SEIUers!" now.
